Sprockhoff no. 384

The extended dolmen of Serrahn with the Sprockhoff no. 384 was created between 3500 and 2800 BC. Chr. And is a worn out rectangular dolmen of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).

The north-south oriented large stone grave was near Serrahn in the Rostock district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The Neolithic megalithic complex in the round hill set with curbs and covered by a layer of rolling stone was excavated by Ewald Schuldt (referred to as Serrahn 2 ).

All five bearing stones of this system were in situ , but none of the two cap stones. A rolled capstone with 107 bowls lay nearby. The stones of the entrance to the south were missing. The chamber was 2.5 m long, 1.5 m high and 1.3 m wide. The multilayer board consisted of:

  • a primary pavement made of small pebbles over which a thin clay screed was drawn, which had turned reddish due to the action of fire and on which there was ash and charcoal.
  • The primary hall has a quarter and was covered with thin gneiss slabs and a second, also red-colored clay screed.
  • A layer of thin gneiss slabs, which, like those of the secondary board, were removed from the intermediate masonry, covered with clay screed and intensely burned, formed the third board, on which the finds of the spherical amphora culture (KAK) lay in the only quarter .

The finds consisted of human bones (including seven skulls and four pierced teeth) as well as 36 shards, five blades , four cross-cutters , two gouges, two bone tools and a spherical amphora, a bowl and a funnel-shaped bowl as well as a drill and a scraper. The investigation revealed that through the support of the CEC nachgenutzt was.

The markings that came to light in several piles on the stele-like blocks of the edging are impressive. They were so close together that they must have been made on the site without a doubt.
